Case Study: City of Sesser improves tax tracking and business insights with Localgov

City of Sesser - Customer Case Study

The City of Sesser, Illinois needed a better way to understand how local businesses were performing and track sales tax receipts and trends. Mayor Jason Ashmore had been receiving sales tax data from the state on CDs and in large printouts and binders, but the information was too cumbersome to analyze and act on effectively. Localgov’s Insights and Analytics solution provided a more accessible, online way to review the data.

With Localgov, the city could quickly monitor tax performance and spot changes in local business revenue. After Localgov revealed a decline in one restaurant’s sales tax receipts, the city reached out and helped promote the business through local advertising and notices, which helped get the restaurant back on track. Localgov also provided strong customer support, and Ashmore said the platform was delivering what the city needed, recommending Localgov “110 percent” to other communities.
